How to close file explorer when opening a file?

Question

I want to customize my vscode for the keyboard only experience (sort-of). Right now, if I open my file explorer and select via the arrow keys the needed file and press enter - it opens that file, focuses the editor (explorer gets unfocused) - but it does not close the file explorer.

So I need to press my combination to focus the explorer back, and then press that again - to close the explorer and focus back the editor.

My question is - how to close the explorer when I open a selected file?

I tried to find the command that is responsible for opening a new file, or an event, but did not find any solution...

Answer 1

I found the solution which worked for myself. there is explorer.openAndPassFocus. so this command worked for me

{
    "key": "enter",
    "command": "runCommands",
    "when": "filesExplorerFocus && foldersViewVisible && !explorerResourceIsFolder && !inputFocus",
    "args": {
        "commands": [
            "explorer.openAndPassFocus",
            "workbench.action.focusActiveEditorGroup",
            "workbench.action.toggleSidebarVisibility"
        ]
    }
}
